Cliff downgraded to slope

A blog (from "web blog") is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed newest first. All Corrente posts are front-paged; there is no up-rate or down-rate process. Corrente posts are almost entirely community moderated. We encourage a clash of ideas, and do not encourage a clash of persons.

How can we trust these lying liars of the Fifth Estate about anything? Serious queston.

Also, were I a small business owner --even a Big Bidness CEO-- I would be pissed beyond measure that yet another Christmas/year end holiday of your choice shopping season has been dampened by 1) no JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, and 2) continous fake handwringing about a fake fiscal crisis set up by both the president and the DC pols to actually go after the great soccial safety net programs. Even seniors on limited income do spend some of that money for presents -- and they may not have anything to spare at all in about 10 years.

Why is Obama so dead set on messing with SocSec? Was it inculcated into him by his wealthy friends' parents during high school or by his wealthy mentors?

What is wrong with him? Another serious question, but actually moot, as only his ACTIONS really count. Doesn't mater what his motivations and/or even mental illnesses are: It's the ACTIONS, stupid.

Winter is coming so PLEASE help lambert...

... who is going into the this winter having sunk a bundle into an insulating project so he doesn't bleed money into the air, for starters, and still needs to pay the bills so he can feed the hamsters that power the wheels that turn the servers at The Mighty Corrente Building. Please, won't you help keep the hamsters shiny and well-fed?

The 12-point platform

"The 12-Point Platform" is a simple list of common-sense programs that will benefit every American, no matter their class, gender, race, or age (PDF).

<i>Conventional Wisdom</i>. Usage example: The slightly stale CW, as promulgated by bigfoot "Dean" Broder. (As an abbreviation for the name of a certain C-list blog, CW may alternatively mean the opposite of "Conventional Wisdom.")

"What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth."
